Love the outro, and the joke. This kit is the best kind of nuts. When I think oversized, over-the-top, no questions asked shenanigans in HGUC, I think two kits: the Penelope and the Neo-Zeong. Thank you for meeting my expectations and exceeding them.
Yo, jabman you gonna pick up the HGUC messer? It looks a lot better, and has a pretty cool design. The kit itself is definitely below hg standards in terms of articulation, but the novelty of it's construction for the flight unit itself makes it well worth it to pick up. As for the price it's a pretty fair price what it's got, and if it had been any lower people would of complained about it's color separation on the A-packs.
The only way I could see a MG Penelope or Xi Gundam would be after the release of the Hathaway’s Flash trilogy. I wouldn’t put it past Bandai to push the envelope when it comes to MG’s considering the Deep Striker, FAZZ ver. Ka, and MGEX Unicorn.
Jabman, should I get this if I just want to put this beside the Psycho Gundam? I always get a kick when I think about how this is the direct descendant of the Psycho Gundam.
I also thought that this design is stupid, but after building mine I can tell you that videos and photos are not giving penelope any justice. When loking at it from the front it's waaay to busy, but if you pose it a little bit on a stand and display it to show more of it's side or back, it really looks WAY more "light" and nimble, like a gigant dragon soaring trough the battlefield. protip: you can lock on one leg to the back like in "flight mode" and then bend knee in the other, it helps to show more angles and the kit looks way more dynamic this way
We stand a much better chance of seeing Penelope as a RE/100 Model kit than we do of even the Kshatriya, unfortunately. I would love both as MGs, but they are just too monstrous for the MG series with current technology :(
I wish it wasn't so loose, why did they use balljoints in the legs if it's gonna hold up the weight. I think it's big to be big, disappointed on how it's only good for the shelf.

@@acidous eh it really depend on each one tastes, I'm generally not fond of over the top mobile suits and more a fan of the more militaristic GMs and Zakus rather than those almost super robot ones
I got mine for around $50 with membership and coupons from Barnes and Nobles and it was really fun putting this thing together. I definitely wanna revisit it and paint it.
And these silly things still Can't be displayed without a stand why is this ? These gundam have been around forever and yet the same weak joints the same poor balance and the rise in prices when in this covid19 time reduce the price and encourage people to stay at home
@@dol_mel7487 yeah really bad pose or falls over and pieces spring off. Dude I've been building these for years and they don't have the weight to keep them upright with a weapon let alone in dramatic pose
@@aleccap5946 Sounds more like the fault of you, the modeler. Any modern HG has the engineering to pull off great poses but are only limited by the builder's creativity
@@Gunpla_shrimp What are you an idiot ? I expect after the amount of years these have been selling a good design for one thing followed by hands that don't flop for another
But Penelope's not the lead Gundam, so having such design is understandable IMO. Xi Gundam's design is relatively simplier. But I get if there are others who'll get turned off by it.
Hi jabman. Are you gonna make new diorama or custom build/paint any of your gunplas. I wanna see u make a final battle version of barbatos lupus rex. Or wing zero battle damage final shot. U already did it to your one yr war gundam
The arm shields look like the Millennium Falcon.
Everyone asking why Bandai designed Penelope like this. Meanwhile Penelope has been vibing since the 80's 😳
Still waiting on the HGUC Xi personally. That thing's my holy grail kit.
I gotta say the 3rd party kit is not great, but not terrible. Looks amazing, and the construction was okay.
It will probably come out when the movie ova thing does
Releases april 2021
Get it yet!?
Almost kind of what to build it just for the lulz. I want to see what they do with the Xi Gundam.
probably not until it show up in the movie
lsruler well Crossbone kits has always been a thing and yet it hasn’t been animated yet. The Xi is probably gonna come out soon.

I left hobby for a year.... ur first person I looked for and glad ur still at it!
can you imagine the official mg release of this?
lmao
I really enjoyed building this big kit. As always good review jabman
Glad you enjoyed it
My next big purchase will be this guy. I’m anxiously awaiting the announcement of the Xi Gundam HGUC.
It's like Core Gundam Sr. 😅
Now that's a size comparison we missed out on. Have the Core Gundam riding this thing. XD
@@kivulifenrir Mecha Gaikotsu did exactly just that with his review
I'll wait for the MG
It’s not going to happen the mg would be huge this thing is bigger than most MGs as it is
@@lemming4774 my point exactly

I got it.... did a full paint job on it ..... annnnddddddd I broke almost every joint on the left side fml
Wow!! That ending 👍👍👍
Jabman, should I get this if I just want to put this beside the Psycho Gundam? I always get a kick when I think about how this is the direct descendant of the Psycho Gundam.
Hoping we get a Xi Gundam
Same, it's an amazing design. ANGRY TRIANGLE
That's a sure thing.
They’re probably just holding off on revealing it until the Hathaway movie comes out
It's 100% happening, Hathaway's flash is getting a anime movie trilogy after all

I want it just for the Odysseus Gundam, what an awesome design but I CANNOT justify the price for just the Odysseus and the FF unit on the stand
i see someone's got an ending, also tallgeese ref nice
Hope they make this a Ver Ka MG
bandai - BRAND NEW AWESOME MOBILE SUIT
me - ......is that a chicken?
I see what you did there at the end.
Do you plan on doing a room tour type video in the future?
Now, do HG TR-6, another big boi HG that isn't a MA.
For some reason despite it's stature I expect the pilot to be as tall as Nog from Deep Space 9.
Really hope they make an RG of the Penelope
I kinda imagine it slowly deforming into Hashmal
"The flying turkey OF DOOM!"
Imagine a Master Grade of this MS
We stand a much better chance of seeing Penelope as a RE/100 Model kit than we do of even the Kshatriya, unfortunately. I would love both as MGs, but they are just too monstrous for the MG series with current technology :(
Imagine a MG Dendrobium.
I wish it wasn't so loose, why did they use balljoints in the legs if it's gonna hold up the weight. I think it's big to be big, disappointed on how it's only good for the shelf.
Hi Jabman, I am thinking about getting into airbrushing. Just wondering, what's your set up at home?
not an airbrusher myself spray cans and lot of hand painting
when you see the chicken head, you will always see it!
Good job sir!
이야 멋있네요 잘보고갑니다! Quick assembly video 👍👍
This is definitely not my kind of kit, or mobile suit for that matter, but it's kind of interesting.
First MS with a command snood.
It’s a flying chicken of death
After looking at this, it honestly sounds like a poor mans version of the Cybuster from SRW.
Uh no, the Penelope/Osysseus (novel) came out in 89’ - 90’ while Cybuster (anime) came out in 99’
Just in case nobody noticed, I think it's kinda big actually.
Flying skyscraper. 😆😆😆
Giant chicken of doom lol
I think it's supposed to look like an origami crane.
Good size for $75
Mega Ultra Chicken
Giga Hyper Chicken
So they stick a few pieces on an old unicorn and charge you almost twice the money ?
What do you mean unicorn? The Penelope's design itself predates the unicorn by more than a decade
It's weird enough to warrant a thumbs up 😅
kind of
God I despise the design of this thing. It’s so terrible. But your review is very good.
I always considered this a dumb gundam design. Fun review tho

Isn't the biggest, dendrodium, meteor pack NEO ZEONG
those are technically mobile armors though right?
I said ONE of the biggest
My bad earing sry
But This is a good flying turkey
Who the hell would want this thing...I rather pay extra for deep striker....
I got mine for around $50 with membership and coupons from Barnes and Nobles and it was really fun putting this thing together. I definitely wanna revisit it and paint it.

what a freaking ugly kit, why does bandai bother making something that looks like a milk box origami, wasted potential for an insane master grade
Yeah this is why I don’t like anything UC between Char’s Counterattack and Unicorn. The mecha designs and lore is ridiculous.
Uh....the design of this is from after Unicorn.
??
this has to be one of the most unique... and kinda hideous protagonist gundam designs in all of gundam. I want to like it.. but i just can't
But Penelope's not the lead Gundam, so having such design is understandable IMO.
Xi Gundam's design is relatively simplier. But I get if there are others who'll get turned off by it.
